THE SRC CAPABILITIES:
COMPLETE DIGESTION AND DISSOLUTION
The more rigorous digestion conditions facilitate the complete decomposition of the sample, ensuring that all target elements are in solution, even for the toughest and most chemically stable samples.
LOW BLANKS AND DILUTION
The use of low acid volumes or diluted acids in combination with high temperature reduces blank levels and dilution factors.
LOW RESIDUAL CARBON CONTENT
Complete digestion of the sample matrix also ensures the lowest residual carbon content thereby reducing polyatomic-based interferences during the analysis.
LARGER SAMPLE MASS
The combination of wide pressure range and accurate digestion control enables the safe digestion of larger sample masses - even for very reactive samples.
